Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Al-Aqsa Mosque is a mosque on the Haram al-Sharif, or Temple Mount, in Jerusalem, one of the most important sites in Islam. Under Crusader rule it was converted to other uses. After Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187 he restored it as a mosque, an act central to the religious legitimacy of the Ayyubid Empire.
